Bible: Neh 13:10-14

13:10Ialso discoveredthatthe grain offeringsfor the Leviteshadnotbeen provided, and that as a resultthe Levitesand the singerswho performedthis workhad all gone off to their fields.13:11SoI registereda complaint withthe leaders, asking “Whyis the templeof Godneglected?” Then I gatheredthem and reassignedthem to their positions.1

13:12Then allof Judahbroughtthe titheof the grain, the new wine, and the olive oilto the storerooms.13:13I gave instructions2that Shelemiahthe priest, Zadokthe scribe, and a certain Levitenamed Pedaiahbe put in chargeof3 the storerooms, and that Hanansonof Zaccur, the sonof Mattaniah, be their assistant,4forthey were regardedas trustworthy. It was then their responsibility to oversee the distributionto their colleagues.5

13:14Please rememberme for this, O my God, and do notwipe outthe kindnessthatI have donefor the templeof my Godand for its services!
